It Is the Changing of the Guard!

I saw before my eyes a process that is known in computer language as defragmentation. This process took many hours.

 

“Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.  They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.  The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing,”   Psalm 65:11-13 KJV.

I saw before my eyes a process that is known in computer language as defragmentation.

This process took many hours.  Each program would fill in any gaps that would be open to make a solid line that looked like a brick wall, then the process would start over on the next level.  I noticed the amount of empty spaces and the LORD spoke to my heart about this.

“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him,”   Daniel 2:21-22 KJV.

Just as the house of Saul has been judged and will continue to be, many gaps have been left open from those that I have removed.  Those who are faithful in little will be faithful with much says your God.

This is a year of transition, a year of placing and moving MY chosen ones into strategic positions by MY orders.  Think not MY beloved that this is in any way a demotion, but on the contrary a promotion.  The fragmentation of MY body shall come together by MY design and by MY orders says your God.

Many of you are already in place, but others come to possess the breech.  These will be tailor made wilderness, cave dweller people.  These will be younger, but with great wisdom for the authority they shall carry.

These shall be unlikely candidates in the eyes of man, but I shall change the events of regions, states and nations by these ones who have been kept hidden for such a time as this.

Many shall be transported to different locations this year in preparation for the changing of the guard.  My chosen ones shall be fully operational as they settle and put down roots and fortify and become strong.

I saw many forts going up as temporary shelters of safety.  Your season is over, says the LORD.  Make preparations!  I saw a wagon train, and banners that said “Jesus’ will or Bust.”  As you move I the LORD shall give you such witness and signs that you will know.

Trust not the voice of man, but trust MY voice and go with your gut instincts, for many well meaning people would say to you that you are in error.  Trust ME with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding and in all your ways acknowledge ME as LORD and I will direct your path and make it straight.

This new beginning will include emotional, Spiritual and physical healing.  This is where things will really begin.  I will bring complete agreement with all those involved in your families and you shall see such interventions that will bring great joy to your souls.  All of these things will happen sooner than you think.

With this transition the LORD is calling you up higher.  Warning!  Do not take this lightly.  Satan will try to bring calamity and destruction before you leave, to discourage you not to go.

Do not heed these tactics, but continue to believe.  The design of these tactics are to get you to think this move is not from ME says your God.

These evil spirits say, Paul I know and Jesus I know, and they know you too and they recognize MY rank on you and are greatly afraid of you.  I AM bringing every crooked place straight and I AM taking care of everything, for it is MY plan says the LORD, and I AM in control.

For those whose object and purpose has been of a pure heart, I AM releasing provision for the vision.  This is a great year of prosperity for MY people who accomplish MY purposes.

The wealth of the wicked is being released to the faithful as they have been faithful in their giving and obedience to MY will.  You are coming into your heritage, and I shall justify and vindicate your life.

No weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that wags, they shall step on their own words, for it is the path they choose.  This is your heritage!  Condemn those negative words.

Claim your heritage and your inheritance says the LORD!  Above all things MY beloved I pray that you may prosper, be in health even as your soul prospers!  Reach down deep inside and take that authority given to you and encourage yourself in the promises.

Take the limit off of your thinking and watch what I do, for this is your season MY faithful ones, to prosper.  I will provide for MY plan!  I ask you to prove ME says the LORD!

Provide a sacrificial offering where I show you.  The time has come.  I shall finance MY vision says the LORD!

I saw a hill from a far distance and all over this hill was sheep and lambs all separated and bleating like they were lost.

Sheep are flocking animals, and these were crying out for a true shepherd to protect them.  These sheep were scattered so far from each other they didn’t know where any of the others were.

The LORD has need of you somewhere else to bind up the sheep and lambs with this move.  The sheep and lambs are hurting and confused.

I shall stretch out MY arm as a torch and the sheep and lambs shall know MY voice.  They wait for your arrival, for the flock shall come together.  I hear the sound of sheep crying out for a true shepherd.  They are sick, weak, tired and lost.

I saw veteran soldiers, ones who have injury and missing limbs, some even with crutches and wheelchairs.  They fought a valiant fight, but were injured.  These people were outcast by the rest of the army because of their disabilities.

Thus says the LORD to you, don’t let the enemy intimidate you from the past mistakes and humiliations.

As far as MY body is concerned, I shall place some of the very rejects into high places of authority in MY army says the LORD, defects and all.

Much transitions, and it is not by your might or power but by MY SPIRIT says the LORD.  If they don’t receive you in one town, you will move on to another, for the whole earth shall be covered with the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea before MY return.

Continue to stir up the gifts, and realize you like a bee are pollinating and bringing much fertile pollen for new growth and change.

I say, IT IS THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD says the LORD.

Course Changes and Corrections From the Heart of the Father!

Before I finished this word, I could feel the heart of the Master and His reassurance that He was going to settle the matter.

Before I finished this word, I could feel the heart of the Master and His reassurance that He was going to settle the matter.

While in prayer, I had a vision of a long, black, old-time train going so fast, and then I heard the words “runaway train.”

I could see the train gradually gaining momentum, seemingly going down a steep railroad.  I noticed the people within the cars didn’t have any idea what was happening.

They had no idea what waited them up ahead.  I saw how the engineer was trying to slow down the train, to no avail.  The whistle blew and over a large trestle the engineer tried to warn the people, but it was too late.

The speed of the train continued to increase and then the train jumped the track.  I watched as the engine and the rest of the cars jumped track and fell to the bottom of the ravine and caught fire.  The sight of it was sheer terror, as I could still see some of the people, as it seemed to crash in slow motion.

Some revival circles and five-fold ministry movements are just like that runaway train and will crash!  They have no idea how to slow down and stop!

Nothing can continue at such a hectic state for long, as people we faint, fall out and could walk away!  It is so important that you know the way you go.  It is important that all five-fold offices are accountable and responsible to others, not just YES men.

These are questions we must ask our leaders.  Yes, are they servant leaders?

Also ask what their doctrine is or statement of faith is.  That should not be an issue.  However if they won’t provide information, I would leave, before you join something you may need to stay away from.

To slow that train down (stop disaster) and for it not to crash and burn, we must have leaders who are balanced and will allow correction to come from those whom God sends.

Usually it is a leader.  A lot of times the leader has been through it before.  These are changing times and days!

I have no clue how the LORD will bring correction to enable course changes and course corrections through the leadership of the Apostle and Prophet, but He must send in someone who can bring correction.

I believe the LORD wants us to have a shepherd’s heart for His beloved sheep and lambs.  These have no idea, only that they must follow the shepherd, (Psalm 25)  I do not care how old we get, I believe we all need a pastor at home or online.  Jesus laid his life down for His beloved sheep and lambs.

In prayer I also saw a speed boat like one that you ski behind.  I saw a person learning to ski and they learned the art of riding the waves behind the boat.

There were many obstacles to learning to become proficient at skiing, but I sensed this was only children’s play compared to what was coming.

The LORD is preparing those who will learn to ride the waves in a simpler fashion.  These shall learn to ride the waves in the sea for the souls of man.  Especially the tidal waves that are coming.  “For those prepared by My hand shall learn to ride the crest instead of going under.”  I knew this was training for more things ahead.

In prayer I also saw a high lighthouse.  It was painted white and I would know it if I saw it.

In the vision I saw the lighthouse standing secure and brightly lighting up the sky as it spun around.  I could see the waves crashing about on the rocks below.  As the storm progressed, inland was being pelted and there was storm surge that flooded the normally dry areas.

It was so stormy and windy and I could see ships lights out there, but the horrible storm had some headed straight for rocks and shipwreck.

In the vision I saw how that lone, deeply founded lighthouse never moved, no matter how the winds came.  It turned out that even hurricane force winds had no effect with the lighthouse.

The lighthouse continued to shine and the person tried all night to get radio contact to help guide these ships away from the rocks and into the harbor.

Although the works were done to help the ships, some of them hit ground and broke up with loss of life.  Others tried to move on to see if things would be more favorable.  Of course the lighthouse gave them the coordinates on radio and prayed for them.

That lighthouse in this specific prophetic vision, represented the actions and messages of the lone prophet (these kept the oil and lamps going day in and day out).  These remained all night while interceding for those ships (ships meaning ministries being tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of men).

If the ships would have taken the other course set by radio (The prophets warning) this may have helped divert them to get further out to sea, to go north and try to outrun the winds and waves.

There was great loss of ships and life during this storm.  However, there were those who made it in by the grace of God.

These were clearly praying and listening to the sound of the warnings.  The lighthouse (prophet) stood and it was clearly known as the landmark in that area for many mariners to watch and pray for. (These prophets will be known as places of stability, authority and life).

These shall stand in the midst of any storm and will be known to bring great light to the situations, regions, and will be known by many others also.

The lighthouse, the ski boat and the train all represent ministry.

Course changes and course corrections must come!

Apostles and prophets MUST learn to work with each other.  There is an unsettled feeling as change always isn’t easy.

The flesh will fight against change and the unknown, when the prophet sees what is happening now and future while the apostles see structure.

Everyone seemingly is flying by the seat of their pants as God clicks people together like linking them piece by piece of a puzzle, following and trusting what God is doing.

Apostles and Prophets are needed to make known the complete functioning of the voice and the structure of HIS kingdom on HIS earth.  There are course changes that must be seen through prophets, when Apostles are looking at things structurally.

During this time-frame and beyond, the apostle must learn and work together with the prophet.

There are extremes of revival that open the door to religious spirits and Jezebel spirits.  We must remain centered and not be extreme either way.

I can feel the unsettledness and there are blind spots to each office.  That is why we have got to learn how to work and harmonize together.

Thus says the LORD Almighty,  “I know I can trust you to carry My Glory, for you have been tested and chosen to do so.

I have and will make you known to all of them.  For those who dare speak or harm those who are my childlike vessels and who carry My glory.

I shall raise them up in your presence and My glory shall be seen in their face.  Having childlike humility these childlike warriors will be so trusting of My Glory.

Their purpose in all this is to depend on their relationship with me and they will simply respond, YES!

When they see My purpose, these shall not be concerned about anything, as they simply know and trust that all is ready and such innocence is in their eyes.

I know this has happened and still will.  Stop looking to man instead of Me.  You are wanting to fit so much and because things didn’t happen the way they should have.  It caused you to deny what I taught you.

Some things were taught years ago and you reverted.  You have compromised and run with heart wide open to get into another flow, when it goes totally against My will for you.

Okay, go ahead, keep running, keep going and you will see that what I say is right.  Shall not the judge of the whole earth do right?  I AM the good shepherd and also the Commander of My armies.

In My anger I must say to those who are elitists with untouchable pride, what you see will wear you out ~ elite syndrome.

In pride they tell you if what you see wears you out, you were not strong enough to be there.  So much to live up to, and when you can’t, they will let you leave and won’t even check on you.

There is so much to live up to and when they find they cannot, they fall out, AND with offense.  Pride and arrogance cannot stand in the midst of My presence; however, you must realize what will come is a bad spirit with a anointing of Jezebel.  You shall feel an apparent anointing; that is why it is so confusing to many.

Don’t you understand?  To go further in Me is to go lower in you!

Religion, tradition, making people feel like they can’t keep up with you, is bondage.  In My Kingdom there must be a balanced view.

My people, legalism will not keep souls bound, for they shall fly away even with a broken wing.

How can people possibly imagine My goodness and kindness, when they see you not keeping up in your own unbalanced, legalistic leadership style?

Within all up-and-coming ministries, there must always remain balance and order.  Time for regrouping, family time, and rest.  People fall out because they can’t do it.  Plain and simple.  Faith stretches and gives you time to stretch with it by My grace.

So many keep going in their own effort measuring self to be part of the organization which was never my intent says the LORD.  For those who are great among you shall be your servant.

People must have balance as those who spin and keep going with no reprieve will begin to fall out of the order of things.  Which it isn’t my order but yours!  People cannot continue to live in a lie because if their is no balance and order they will burn out and fall out.

When we sense so much confusion and disorder we need to stop and get quiet and pray, resting in him and ask him to bring peace and order. Question your leadership! Find out if they are servant leaders, ask what they believe and if you see pride, personally I would run!

You need to ask the Spirit of Grace about questions you have and see.  I don’t care how much of anointing is there in that place.  There is a false anointing (it confuses the LORD’s beloved) it seems real and it “feels” like it is right.  You must not go by feelings. You must go by Gods word. It all must line up to God’s Word.

These leaders in error are looking to bait and hook you and get you to swallow their agenda, or to snag by some so they can exercise their authority but only because they are snagged.

I heard from the LORD to pray concerning chaos, turmoil.  No balance, tossed by the sea, I saw a spinning top of those who don’t know how to stop and lack of humility.

Test the spirits.  We must test the spirits to see if they are from God.  We have a responsibility to do this.

The manifested presence?  How are we to rightly divide the word and measure ourselves against the Word of God.  Feelings are deceitful.  The soulish realm is where the enemy operates.

People use feelings as fact when it is not! Heaven and earth will pass away but my word will never pass away.  Look for the fruit of the Spirit in action and look for integrity, humility especially look for the shepherd’s heart.

These types of situations and learning experiences may knock the wind out of us for a little bit.  However, I am certain they have no more power in Jesus’ name.

Do You Recognize You?

We all need His blood everyday and every moment.  There is power in the name and blood of Jesus!

 

Many have no idea about the spiritual heart,  as it gets pumped by all the same blood.  By these things I mean, this spiritual blood flows through our spiritual veins; the life source we all have in common.

However, in His blood, each believer experiences His body, according to HIS purpose.

We all need His blood everyday and every moment.  There is power in the name and blood of Jesus!

In the body of Christ there are many organs hidden from view.  However, we have no idea how strong and vital these are to the plan of God.  You really don’t see what you carry inside of you.

Many are in this place with the LORD.  His light permeates every part of our spiritual and physical body.  Yes, there are fixed DNA, and it is inevitable (according to the times and seasons), when it is time to grow up and grow out.  It is no different in the body of Christ.

As human beings, by nature, we want to fit in with others.  The sense of belonging to something, is so strong.  However beloved, our master is jealous over us with us with a Godly jealousy.

Oh to have that knowing daily; that He wishes and wants our attention first.  No matter what happens in our lives, He will give us instruction and fill our empty cup with more of his Word.

“Would to God ye could bear with me a little in [my] folly: and indeed bear with me.  For I AM jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ,”   2 Corinthians 11-1-3 KJV.

Sometimes that means we walk alone with the LORD and away from people.  Our first love relationship in worship, the word and the highest place of all, is intimacy!

As we press in purpose, prayer, worship and word, we are to quiet ourselves to His purposes and allow the LORD to prepare us and he will be our plan.

Sometimes in our sense of belonging, we find relationships that don’t work, no matter how hard we try.

Spending time with the LORD in correction will sometimes feel harsh, but God knows the fullness of it all.   Sometimes it means walking away from people.

We cannot neglect God and except to walk with him.  God is jealous over us and He wants us to keep him first.

We feel the gentle tug on our heart, desiring and wanting His presence.  Our desire is in knowing Him and bringing glory to His name and to please Him.  The depth of requirement isn’t all the same for all people.

There are many who are called but few are chosen for specific purpose.  These specific ones had to choose to accept it.  God does not take your choice away from you.  The LORD knows who fit in His particular plan.

He holds us dearly and He brings those who have divine connection with us.

Beloved, do not be hurt or offended when you seemingly lose a friend or a loved one.  In this army of God, you never know how long it will be until your change of assignment.

Beloved, no one knows what the future brings, but we walk by faith, knowing He has the all things in sync with the universe with His master plan for each one of us.  Amen?

Too Big for Our Own Britches

When we were children, we needed parental discipline to correct our course.

 

When we were children, we needed parental discipline to correct our course.

Spiritually beloved, we ALSO need God’s discipline and intervention when we get too big for our own britches!

God has to change our course and intervene changing our direction, minds, AND behinds if need be!

It proves HIS love for us!

I don’t have all the answers but I know who does!

The Lord shall provide us with stability and assurance that we belong to HIM!

“For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.  If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not.
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?” 
  Hebrews 12:6-9.
